Doug Fischer Preps Us For Pacquiao/Cotto

In my mind Doug Fischer is the best boxing writer out there. I've followed him from Maxboxing.com to The Ring. If you are any kind of boxing fan he is a must read. He maybe young, but he knows the history of boxing and gives great analysis. Max Kellerman should take notes.



Thanks for stopping by,

P.S. If you are a boxing fan or have any interest in the sport, I highly recommend that you at the very least check out his weekly mailbags. You will learn a lot even if you aren't up on the history of the sport or what's going on currently.

Once Again Floyd Mayweather Comes Up Small

According to ESPN.com's Dan Rafael, Floyd Mayweather will be announcing a bout with Juan Manuel Marquez after all.



*sigh*

I previously blogged about my dream of actually seeing Floyd fighting someone who I would actually care about. It looks like he is going to use the incredibly undersized Marquez as a tune up to fight the Pacquiao vs. Hatton winner that will be crowned tonight.

Floyd, stop retiring in an effort to duck the true welterweights out there.

Thanks,

Mayweather's Not So Money/Back For More Cash

Mr. Mayweather may no longer be able conviently retire to duck fighters who can possibly beat him. According to SportingNews.com & Boxingscene.com, "Money" as Mayweather is known to call himself, is having a bit of a cash flow problem. He's in debt to the IRS for $6,000,000. I guess he's not exactly printing money over there at his label, Philthy Rich Records.



This gives me hope that I may finally see him step in the ring with Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto. But since those are the only fights I care to see him in, instead he will continue to pick fights against naturally smaller fighters like the winner of Manny Pacquiao & Ricky Hatton. Mayweather's already easily beaten Hatton once at Welterweight, although Ricky is naturally a Junior Welterweight (140 lbs). He will probably try for an easy pay day if Ricky were to pull out an upset of Pacquiao, which I seriously doubt he can do. If Manny were to win Floyd would dodge Cotto & Mosley by going after a man who won his first world title in the Flyweight division. FLYWEIGHT!!! That's 112 lbs, kids! Hell, there's even talk of Floyd possibly coming out of retirement to face Juan Manuel Márquez, according to ESPN.com's Dan Rafael.
